Today is Sunny's eleventh birthday—already! The Instagram photo above is her official birthday portrait, and another one is below. She was actually quite the cooperative photographer’s model today, which was nice. She also got into some birthday mischief today, but we won’t talk about that so it doesn’t diminish her day.

Last year I mentioned that she’s slowed down a bit, which she had. But she also can still be as active as ever, especially when playing with her little brother Leo, and sometimes her big brother Jake. She also has the loudest bark in the family. That’s not relevant to her birthday or anything; it’s just a fact.

As always, Sunny is still one of the happiest dogs I've ever known. So, we still say, “Sunny by name, sunny by nature”. We can’t imagine her—or life—any other way.
